The Guru Method GAMSAT Preparation Blog

Hi all!

I'm looking people from france or elsewhere who are going to take the test in London next month...If you want us to exchange and motivate each other ....

thank you for your response!

Thats a really interesting question.

Are you really asking what degree will give the best GAMSAT prep, or are you more interested in what degree will be most helpful in studying graduate entry Medicine?

I'd suggest a broad based science degree for GAMSAT, and Pharmacy / Pharmacology for Medicine..... out of all of the students in our year, I envy the pharmacists the most!

Good luck

My sibling is willing to write GAMSAT. he has completed his high school. I know he need to have a UG degree. What degree do you think will help him to score good mark in GAMSAT?

Which UG degree will help him to do GAMSAT well?

Thanks

Saw on the PD forum that Medprep is giving away sample interview prep material for free. I requested it from Medprep today (go to the interview page on the Medprep website and see how to get it) and just received the material by email. I think the stuff is very helpful because it offers specific instructions on how to approach ethical and other types of MMI stations and then gives a heap of example MMI stations with sample answers. Free is good!!!

At this point in the process, things are very competitive and this can sometimes encourage competitor candidates to provide misleading advice about interviews. This has been my unfortunate experience. The medprep stuff has really lowered by anxiety levels by making the expectations clear. Also the PD forum offers loads of interview advice from successful people who are now medical students.

One or two weeks til most interview offers are made. . . Yikes!

I will attempt the GAMSAT in 2011. I have read many of the comments on various materials that are on the market. Has anyone used the GOLD STANDARD package by Dr Brett Ferdinand ?
The website is called gamsat-prep

I do not know where to begin my studies on this but I have narrowed it down to this and medprep international.

Can anyone advise based on experience keeping in mind that I have not studied anything for almost 20 years.

Hi there,

UQ relies solely on your GAMSAT (with GPA of 5.5 only as a hurdle). Reason being that UQ doesn't have interviews so everybody who is worried abt an interview and/or have a high gamsat score all apply there. The gamsat cutoffs are (from last year):

64 for BMP
67 for CSP

- i know ridiculously high right! So id say Griffith instead of UQ (cutoff for griffith interview is 59-60) BUT remember, you've got a really good GPA and you don't wanna waste it so apply to uni's that take GPA into consideration when they are sending out offers. I have a GPA of 6.5 and theres no way id apply to either UQ or Griffith. I'm looking into ANU or UWA (both weigh GPA quite highly, as high as 50%).

Good on you for wanting to do GAMSAT again! i'm doing it again as well. Its a good idea to do it again :) and well done on ur GPA. If i were you, id defn consider using that to my advantage :)

Neways hope that helps?

Good luck
